Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.
Major Changes
A full list of fixes is below, but this patch release includes federation compatibility and bug fixes, as well as fixing vulnerabilities in our websocket rate limiting.
We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for almost two years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation. If you would like to support our efforts, please consider donating.
If you’d like to support development, and make sure that we will always be available to work full time on Lemmy, consider donating to support its development. We’ve spent hundreds of hours on Lemmy, and would like to be able to add more developers to our little open-source co-op as time goes on.
Changes
Lemmy Server
Federate user account deletion (fixes #1284) (#2199)
Unfortunately, most step-by-step tutorials assume knowledge of many basic things, which are not always even mentioned.
For example, recently one of the users tried to explain to me that you just need to use the command "docker build -t lemmy-ui. " and etc., but there is a funny problem: I didn’t even understand where (in which environment or in which program) I can use it, and where I can’t. And also what to do after.
And so everything turns into collecting a million needles in a haystack. Of course, I understand that this is an integral part of learning everything related to programming.
But often life works in such a way that one person, a professional in his field, can spend 4 hours of his time, saving 400 hours for 100 beginners.
At the same time, without such help from a professional, probably 95% of potential active users and novice developers can simply get stuck and abandon their interest.
yes you are 100% correct, sorry. I don’t really know of any system administration tutorials for total beginners. We all learned this organically somehow, how to deal with ssh. We were bloody beginners who did stupid mistakes as well in the past, I used to always break my linux installs :D
